We are saddened by the loss of legendary playwright, actor, author, screenwriter, and director Sam Shepard. Over the course of his storied career, Shepard wrote 44 plays, received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and an Oscar nomination, and left an indelible mark on the world of theater. You can learn more about his incredible career in the Billy Rose Theatre Division at the Library for the Performing Arts, where we house The Carol Benet collection of Sam Shepard research materials: archives.nypl.org/the/22443
